Eduardo Dantas lost the Bellator bantamweight title to Joe Warren on Oct. 10, but he wants another five rounds against "The Baddest Man on the Planet." Dantas held the 135-pound championship for two and a half years, and he feels he deserves an immediate rematch after a unanimous decision loss in Thackerville, Okla.

Joe Warren unified the Bellator bantamweight championship with a unanimous decision victory over Eduardo Dantas in the main event of Bellator 128 on Oct. 10, and another Brazilian could be next for "The Baddest Man on The Planet."

UFC Hall of Famers, mixed martial arts (MMA) legends brought over as ambassadors, or even GLORY kickboxing stars, it makes no difference to Scott Coker. The Bellator president is luring in top talent and as more names signs on, more are sure to follow.

Joe Warren unified the bantamweight championship last night (Fri., Oct. 10, 2014) in the Spike TV main event of Bellator 128 and in the process, shinned Eduardo Dantas with a bone to the dome in the waning minutes of their 135-pound affair. "The Baddest Man on the Planet" -- who insists he was simply trying to push off the cage -- received a stern talking-to from veteran referee "Big" John McCarthy, but no point deduction, and managed to leave the Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma, with the belt around his waist.
